Let's talk cast nets

Thanks.....I guess I need to figure out how much lead my net has.

EASIEST WAY TO THROW CAST NET

Watch this video. I do the same thing with my ten foot except I have to fold the net twice in my left hand instead of once.

It just takes practice. Watch some YouTube videos and go out in your backyard and practice. My net was my dads and he never learned to throw it. One day I decided I needed to learn so I watched the video I linked earlier and then went in the back yard to practice. An hour later I could throw a 10ft net.

Two 10' nets with the same weight but double the mesh size is likely to sink 2 to 3x faster assuming the net is made of the same material. I 've never seen a 3/8" net made from anything but mono and I've never seen a 1" net made from anything but some type of string. Therefore, I can't even remotely guess the difference because these always seem to be two totally different animals. I'd also suggest that mullet at 8' deep won't be spooked by the relative quiet camouflage that mono would give you despite sinking slower because of the finer mesh.

Sorry for the non-help....

try it out tomorrow. The way I through takes a hell of a lot more technique.

The main reason I liked that technique is cause I could easily do that from the bow of my boat. I only have a couple feet of space on the bow where my anchor locker is and that one throwing motion allows me to get it out there over my bow rails relatively easy.
